The bars will be closed on the day itself, as I discovered to my disappointment a few years ago, it was my last night and boyz town was ghost town :( , Makha Bucha is the most important Budhist holiday.

Makha Bucha (litterally, "worship in the third month")

Is Makha Bucha not in the Second Month?

My Bf reckons its on Feb 12th?

He always does something big in his village on this day every year... Gathers up all his "gang" and they have a parade to the temple!

(of course this parade always ends up costing Money :evil3:

Almost sounds like our Easter (you know, when JC emerges from the tomb after three days and, if he sees his shadow, we get six more weeks of winter.) :cheers:
